    Haha come to tipp and see whos happy, best winter i have had in ages, even had a wedding kilkenny in September, a glorious day of hurling discussion.
    your post is delusion at its finest, a common kilkenny trait. Was on corks gaa forum they had a thread for most hated teams,kilkenny and glasgow rangers featured alot.

    Success can lead to jealousy among people and slowly onto hatred.

    Can understand why Cork would be hateful(jealous) of KK alright.

    Sure Tipp people always enjoy one good winter in a row, but never two in a row 😜

    I was just going to say the exact same thing. I imagine he would have been a star in the battlefields of the 1980s!

    I agree with that part, but not that he is getting special treatment.

    Once saw your fella Doran score three goals in league game in Croke Park against Dublin in 1976/7. Turned a certain and rare win for ourselves into a defeat. Drew with the Cats same season.

    He was something else and in an era where more was let go he was not shy about talking to the ref!

    Haha you dont like when i speak to the truth or all the other posters here who are copping on to kilkenny nonsense, anything i say is factual, again today your on about tj reid foul and the man going down, instead of looking at the slap you try to blame the opposition player for going down. You are the definition of pathetic since you cant objectively judge when kilkenny are involved.

    i was referring to your pathetic post (again) about some ****ing wedding and some cork forum, like who gives a ****? Still giggling about the colour of the buses in Kilkenny? pathetic, premierview level stuff.

    Maybe leave the discussion about the Reid incident to the posters that have seen the incident and that can grasp logic and understand context, since you clearly are struggling with a lot of the posts here

    I know the man personally. Absolute gentleman. Never seen him hurl in my lifetime, but a measure of a legend is seeing grown men turn into star-struck kids whenever they stand next to big Tony at a game :D

    I think not liking your points being challenged/discussed is more precious
    i love my points been challenged and discussed cause i can back them up with facts and examples, i maintain some ( a minority to be fair) of kk posters can be extremely precious

    Hasn’t been too bad of a decade for the cats. In 7 All Ireland finals and won 4 of them.

    Clubs teams showing well at Senior, Inter and Junior National levels.
    Ballyhale with All Ireland titles in 15, 19 and should win one at the end of the month to make it 3 this decade.

    You could add 2010 to Ballyhale all Ireland titles.

    If players stand off him, Fennelly will make hay as he won't be continuously fouled. He's constantly being pulled and dragged and not getting fair play from refs at any level.

    Yep. Can recognize him as the guy with 4 defenders hanging on(fouling) as he drags them.

    really? didn't know kk won silverware in 2019

    No & while leinster was disappointing we progressed steadily over the year & exceeded expectations. I don't think many other counties would consider an AI final & 2 hard fought wins leading up to it too shabby for the team that wrapped up '18. Still, 2nd isn't what any athlete strives for.

    It shouldn't have changed until they can fit it into one calendar year. And if they can't do that then it shouldn't have changed at all.

    The GAA aren’t interested in clubs any more so they’ll move it around until it’s an afterthought.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 41,116 ✭✭✭✭PTH2009


    Ballyhale and Corofin to retain I think


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 5,438 ✭✭✭zetecescort


    Intermediate and Junior hurling finals will be shown on TG4's youtube page tomorrow, Junior at 4 and Intermediate at 6

    Hard to see past ballyhale unless its a dogfight.

    leaving Patricks day and tradition out of it the previous scenario of a provincial final end of November or start of December, all Ireland semi mid February and final mid March was crazy. Current situation isn't ideal but i think its an improvement. On the games themselves expecting huge performances from kilcoo and borrisoleigh but both to fall short against outstanding teams.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 41,116 ✭✭✭✭PTH2009


    Jesus I hate the 3 cheers stuff but imagine it would be less smug giving theres no real rivalry between clubs from different counties

    Also hate it. A stupid tradition. Would rather see the captain say something like unlucky to the lads, no doubt they'll come back again and thanks for a great game. Leave it at that. Maybe give a quick round of applause or some such but it's all nonsense

    Heard from various interviews that some dislike the opposition manager coming in after the game saying a few words of thanks and hard luck. County club games with them almost smirking

    100%

    How on earth can anyone favour a format with a 2 month break between a provincial final and semi and a further 6 week break to the final (preventing players involved playing county), over one with a 3 weeks/month break between prov final and semi and 2 weeks between semi and final.

    I think people are letting the sentimental aspect of Paddys Day cloud their judgment. Every single club player I know heavily favours this change

    Yeah, do away with that too. I always hated it. It's like rubbing salt into a loss. A losing dressing room is depressing enough without having to entertain the opposition patronising us with a well done lads, we're better than ye

    Like the recent IC calendar change we just have to get used to it

    I have to say I think its incredibly unfair on Fr O'Neills to have to travel to Dublin for a 6pm throw in. Insane scheduling. Sure they won't be back in Cork for potential celebrations till almost 11pm FFS by the time they get out of Croker

    You have to wonder the level of intelligence in these fixture planning meetings

    I agree and given that you'll have both cork clubs going to the same area it's madness.

    Absolutely outstanding entertainment in the Intermediate final. Can't help but feel delighted for the bould Tommy Walsh.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 619 ✭✭✭BoroMan32


    Tremendous game. Shame there had to be a loser. Thought the 65 call for Tullaroan's second last point was very harsh.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 2,224 ✭✭✭Charlie69


    Well done to Conahy and Tullaroan today, Intermediate final was savage exciting.. delighted for Tullaroan but comisserations to Fr O'Neills, that's a tough one to lose.

    Well the umpire from where he was couldn't have seen whether the ball was over the end line. It was close but no way he could have made the call. He was behind the Fr O Neil's player.

    Never affiliated with a club (I'll support any Waterford team) but I'm amazed the passion of it. This victory means so much to the Walsh's and there Liam McCarthy wins are almost an after thought
